   11  sell, offer, or expose for sale any merchandise other than such
   12  beverages, and such places of business shall be devoted
   13  exclusively to such sales; provided, however, that such vendors
   14  shall be permitted to sell bitters, grenadine, nonalcoholic

   22  of business from which patrons are excluded.
   23         (b) As used in this subsection, the term “neighborhood
   24  market” means a grocery store that is part of a chain of grocery
   25  stores with sizes varying from 28,000 to 66,000 square feet,

   27  fill the gap between supercenters, in filling areas where
   28  another supermarket chain had closed all stores due to
   29  competition. Such markets offer a variety of products including
   30  full lines of groceries, pharmaceuticals, health and beauty
   31  aids, photo developing services, and a limited selection of
   32  general merchandise.
